TRACK NEWS.
Prep-School Contest Comes off
Saturday.
Th$ records for track events, which
have been gathered from the scoring1
lists of previous years show the follow
ing records to be the best the Univer
sity has had up to the present time
and which must be broken before the
contestant will be allowed to wear
the University sweater :
100 yards dash 10 seconds.
220 ; " " 23 "
440 " " 60 "
1 mile run 5 minutes 30 seconds.
120 yard high hurdle 18 seconds.
220 " low " 30 seconds.
Running high jump 5 ft. 2 in.
Running broad jump 19 ft.
Pole vault 9 ft. 3 in.
Throwing hammer 18 lb. 87 ft
inches. ,
Putting 16 lb. shot 37 feet.
The prep-schools have entered hear
tily into the contest to take place here
Saturday. Some will come on a spe
cial train and briny: with them a num-
ber of visitors so that the day prom
ises to be one of pleasure as well as
of contest.
Much interest is being1 shown in the
approaching1 contest, both by the stu
dents here and at the various prepara
tory schools which will be represented
at the coming- meet. Each event on
the programme is expected to be hotly
contested by the schools and an excit
ing and interesting occasion may be
depended on.
We make the suggestion that it
would enhance the comfort of the on-
ookers if a sort of grand-stand were
made under the oaks which are en
closed by the track. There are a great
many benches around the college
buildings which would make a good
temporary affair of this kind.
Dr. Alderman went to Durham yes
terday to confer with Col. J. S. Carr
in regard to the design of the Carr
Building. At a meeting of the Build
ing Committee held in Raleigh las't
week a number of pretty designs were
submitted by the architect, but as Col.
Carr, who is a member of the commit
tee, was not in the State at that time,
it was decided not to accept any de
sign until he could be seen. The
uilding will probably be erected just
east of the Library and work on it
will begin on a day not very distant.
, It is gratifying to know that work
on the Alumni Hall is soon to be re
sumed. Arrangements have been
made to secure funds sufficient for
erecting the walls of the building and
putting on the roof. It is hoped, too,
that by the time this has been done
enough money will have been obtained
Bases on balls, by Lawson 3, Miner 1, to make it possible to have the work
Brooks l. ' pushed on to completion.
Let '99 Organize.
Communicated.
We are glad to see that there is a
growing sentiment in favor of the
permanent organization of the Class
of 1899. We number among1 our ac
quaintances very few Yale or Harvard
men, but one characteristic of the few
we do know is that each and every one
of them knows just what all of his
classmates are doing and is thorough
ly alive to the interests of his col
lege.
Last commencement Dr. Alexander
attended a banquet at Yale on the 25th
anniversary of his graduation and re
sponded to a toast. On the same night
Prof. Cobb was one of the speakers at
the third triennial dinner of his class
at Harvard. From the number of
men. reported present at each reunion
both occasions must have been greatly
enjoyed. An interesting feature of
the Harvard dinner was the presence
of the "class baby," a little girl seven
years old to whom the class presented
a silver oatmeal set. Seven years be
fore her father had received the " class
cradle," a large silver loving-cup.
These classes keep up with what
all their members are doing, and each
quarter the secretaries report to the
alumni publications changes of ad
dress, promotions, etc. At regular in
tervals, we do not know how often,
the secretary issues a report in pam
phlet form telling what each member
is doing, or has done since the last re
port. We have seen some of these re
ports and they are no doubt very in
teresting to members of the class as
well as being valuable history in many
cases.
Of course there is some expense con
nected vyth this. Each man before
eaving college subscribes some
amount to the class fund, payable in
five years. This establishes a perma
nent fund which provides for the pub-
ications, etc. Since ours is the
arerest senior class since the civil war
the raising of a class fund would not
be a difficult matter. There is not a
member of the class who could not
subscribe $5.00 payable in five install
ments, the first being due on or be-
:ore commencement day, and the
others at intervals of one year. Many
men would of course subscribe more
than this amount, and while the, first
payment of one dollar or more might
be an inconvenience just at gradua
tion, one would after all hardly miss
the money, and the pleasure in the or
ganization would far outweigh the
small cost. Let '99 organize. A per
manent secretary and treasurer would
be needed, and a permanent president
and class committee of three would
not be amiss. These might be elected
about the close of the college year.
Gift to the University.
Mr. C. L. VanNoppen, class of
94, has presented the University
with a statuette of Thomas H. Ben-
;on. The statuette was packed in
box and shipped by freight from
New York. When it reached Chap-
Hill, rough handling on railroads
had resulted in its being- broken in-
three or four pieces. This is
rv unfortunate, for Mr. VanNop-
pen's g-ift would have added greatly
the attractiveness of the Univer-
ty Library. An effort will be
made to have it repaired.
